"What do you mean?" Qian Bo was confused when he heard this, but when he saw Tan Xuan's expression, he felt inexplicably panicked.
Tan Xuan grinned and deliberately let it slip, "It's okay, you will know when the time comes, and you should know earlier than others."
"Why?" Qian Bo became even more confused.
"You are the leader. If you have anything to do, you must go to the leader first. Okay, someone is here to see you. I'm going to take a rest first."
Tan Xuan put the cigarette in his hand into his pocket, turned around and returned to the house.
Qian Bo wanted to ask what was going on, but when he saw the village chief leading two people from the village into the yard, he could only greet them with a smile, and began to greet them step by step.
Tan Xuan and Xiao Di squinted for a while in the bedroom in the west room. It was the room Qian Bo had prepared for them. Anyway, there were no outsiders, and they were not separated as a couple who were about to become consummated. There was an official visit to them in the living room.
I really didn't want to get involved, the kang was very warm and my whole body felt very comfortable lying on it. Accompanied by the sounds of laughter and laughter outside, the two of them quickly fell asleep.
When Tan Xuan woke up, it was already dark outside. He checked the time on his phone and saw that it was only around five o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Di was sleeping soundly next to him. Without the blessing of the sun, the temperature in the room had dropped a lot. Tan Xuan took it
Xiao Di was covered with a quilt full of sunshine.
Tan Xuan felt his mouth was a little dry, so he went out of the bedroom to look for water. He found that Qian Bo was still talking to his second father and his son in the living room, but his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing others to rest.
Qian Bo smiled and waved to Tan Xuan, "Are you awake? If you don't come out, I should call you. Come on, come and have some tea."
"Um!"
Tan Xuan nodded towards the father and son, without calling them anything, it was regarded as a greeting.
"Is it the habit of sleeping on the kang?" Qian Bo and his second uncle asked Tan Xuan while smoking a hand-rolled dry cigarette.
"It's very good. I feel very relaxed after a good sleep."
Tan Xuan sat on the wooden sofa and took the tea cup from Qian Bo. Looking at the mess on the ground and table, he really couldn't imagine how many visiting villagers Qian Bo had received in one afternoon.
Qian Bo, his second uncle, knocked on his pipe and stood up, "Okay, you can eat when you are ready. We will go back. It's getting late. You should finish your meal and rest early. The coal has been pressed for you."
, just stir it up when you get up at night, and the firewood is in the kitchen. Let’s burn the kang before going to bed. The countryside is not as good as the city. It’s cold at night, so don’t freeze.”
"I know, I know." Qian Bo nodded and stood up. His true grandson was very well-behaved in front of his elders. When the other party wanted to leave, he really took his coat and started to see the guest off without any intention of keeping him.
No.
"Okay, Second Master, it's dark outside, you and Second Uncle, please slow down." Qian Bo instructed.
"I got it. When the sun comes out tomorrow, let your second uncle take you to the cemetery to lay a grave. If you don't have anything to do at night, don't go out. Just go outside and stay in the house. Don't go out at night if you have nothing to do."
The old man shouted to Duoduo who was on the kang in the east room. After Qian Bo and his second uncle pushed open the door, he walked out with his hands behind his back. Qian Bo and Tan Xuan hurriedly saw him off.
"Go back." The old man, Qian Bo and the others waved their hands.
It's not too dark outside, the moon is big above the head, and there are no clouds in the sky. It's just that it's very cold outside, and it's like a completely different world from the inside of the house. Especially for Tan Xuan who's not wearing a coat, it's simply a torture, even if there's no wind.
The chill kept pricking into his clothes, giving him a chill instantly. It was so cold that Tan Xuan ran back when he went out.
Qian Bo sent the two men to the front door and locked the door before returning. Although he was wearing a coat, he was still shivering after entering the house.
"My God, it's so cold." Qian Bo put his hand on the radiator to warm it up, and said to Tan Xuan: "Wake up your boss. It's time for us to eat. We'll cook hot pot in the evening. Second Aunt will do it in the afternoon.
Your sister-in-law has almost prepared the materials we brought here."
"You want to eat now?" Tan Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Well, let's deal with one tonight, and then go to bed early after eating. This is the custom in the village. When I meet people doing errands and morgues, the village has gone to bed early in the past few days. Didn't you see that my second master and the others have gone back in a hurry?
We are all afraid of being exposed to bad luck. We have no choice but to catch up."
"There is still this custom, but the key is that you are not hungry now." Tan Xuan said with a wry smile. After eating, he took a nap and then had dinner again. The food in his stomach was not fully digested yet.
"If you're not hungry, eat less. If you can't sleep at night, don't you and your siblings need to be physically fit to exercise in the dark?" Qian Bo laughed and went to the kitchen to take out an induction cooker.
"Go away! I don't know who won't sleep tonight."
Tan Xuan returned to the west room and woke up Xiao Di, and then several people gathered together to eat a simple version of hot pot. Although it was very refreshing to eat hot pot on a cold day, they ate too much at noon and had no appetite at night.
After dinner, everyone tidied up the house and then went back to their respective rooms. They were all obedient and stayed in their respective rooms in the dark with the lights turned off. They didn't even look at their mobile phones. Only the moonlight outside the window filtered through the curtains.
Came the dim light.
The east room is very quiet. I don’t know if they are asleep, but Tan Xuan and Xiao Di in the west room are more energetic than the other. They have slept all afternoon, and this is the time to finish eating in Jiangzhou. What should they do?
I can't sleep, and the kang is very hot because of that guy Qian Bo, and no one can sit in the middle seat now.
Xiao Di leaned on the window sill and lifted the curtains to look outside. There was already a layer of frost on the windows, and only the four corners that were not too tight could still be seen outside. There was no difference between the windows outside and the house. They were both quiet, but slightly
A little brighter.
"What is the situation in this village? How come a person is dead and the street is cleared? And the lights are all turned off. What is going on?" Xiao Di asked puzzledly. She has seen some things in the world.
But this was the first time she encountered this custom.
Tan Xuan chuckled, "In the final analysis, the living are afraid of the dead. After all, the corpses are still parked at the end of the village, and such violent deaths have their own resentment. Who is not afraid of finding their homes in the middle of the night?"
In the darkness, Xiao Di's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean..."
Suddenly a bright light flashed outside the window. Xiao Di quickly leaned on the window and looked out. He saw a car coming on the road. It turned south at the intersection west of Qian Bo's house and stopped at the door of Qian Bo's house diagonally opposite.
.
"Didn't you say you are not allowed to go out at night? Why are there still people driving?"
Tan Xuan glanced outside and then looked away, "I guess that family is the one where the accident happened. The deceased's husband should be back now."
As expected, the car quickly turned around and drove away, and not long after, several people came out of that family's house, holding flashlights and carrying things and walked towards the head of the village.
"What did these people do?" Xiao Di asked again.
"My family went to watch the night at the memorial shed." Tan Xuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was only after seven o'clock. If you were watching TV, the news broadcast hadn't even finished yet.
Xiao Di stuck out his tongue and said, "Going to keep vigil at the tomb in this cold weather, you can't freeze the living to death, right?"
Tan Xuan snorted and said with a smile: "I won't freeze to death, but I'm afraid I will be scared to death."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Di looked at Tan Xuan in confusion. In the night light, their faces were almost touching.
Seeing that Tan Xuan was trying to sell things off, Xiao Di pushed Tan Xuan dissatisfied and said, "Speak quickly."
"It's not interesting. If nothing else happens, this village will be very lively tonight."
"What?" Xiao Di immediately sat up straight, "You mean there will be tonight at the end of the village..."
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, "It will be very lively at the end of the village, but I guess it will be more lively here."
"Why?" Xiao Di became even more confused after hearing this. He looked out the window in the direction of the old well, but it was blocked by the courtyard wall and couldn't see anything.
Tan Xuan patted Xiao Di's hand, "There's no point in telling you now. Prepare your equipment, and then you can sleep for a while. You'll know in the middle of the night."
Xiao Di shook his head, "I'm not going to sleep. I've been sleeping all afternoon and woke up early."
"If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to sleep tonight."
"That's better." Xiao Di was not afraid of the excitement, but was afraid that it would not be lively enough. He stood up, picked up her bag from the kang, took out the equipment she brought, then sat back by the window, stretched out her hand and scratched the dust on the window.
The frost residue made it easier for her to look out the window.
"You really don't want to sleep? Then I'll take a nap for a while. If there's any excitement, I'll have to wait until midnight."
Tan Xuan did not take off his clothes, he pulled the quilt and leaned behind him and closed his eyes, leaving Xiao Di alone and looking out the window without blinking.
Waiting for the material to appear was Xiao Di's daily routine before, but since she got together with Tan Xuan, Tan Xuan was doing all the work on duty. After observing for a while, she couldn't keep an eye on her anymore, and Tan Xuan beside her
Slight snoring gradually began to sound, and she dozed off, and finally she hugged Tan Xuan's arm and snuggled close to Tan Xuan.
"Dangdangdang..."
There was a knock on the door. It was not loud, but it was very clear in this quiet night. Tan Xuan and Xiao Di sat up at the same time and looked out the window. The frost on the window was already thick and they could not be seen at all.
The situation outside the window, and since they were in the west room, they couldn't see the door at all. Xiao Di was about to turn on the flashlight of his cell phone, but Tan Xuan snatched the cell phone away.
Tan Xuan reached out and covered Xiao Di's mouth, then leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't make any sound, wait for Qian Bo to open the door!"
Xiao Di pushed Tan Xuan's hand away and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that something will happen to Qian Bo?"
Tan Xuan shook his head slightly and pointed to the ground. Xiao Di understood, and he and Tan Xuan quietly put on their shoes.
"Dangdangdang..."
The knocking on the door continued, and the rhythm was a little faster than before.
"Who is it?"
Qian Bo's voice finally came from the east room. His voice was not loud, as if he was afraid of disturbing other people. Then he heard the sound of the door opening in the east room.
"Who is it?" Qian Bo came to the door with the faint light of his mobile phone, yawning profusely, as if he had just woken up from a dream. Qian Bo stretched out his hand and pressed on the door handle. The door handle was completely cold, and he was completely frozen.
When he woke up, he felt nervous at the same time. Looking out through the window next to the door, under the moonlight, he could only vaguely see a black outline outside the door, and could not see anything else clearly.
"Who is it?" Qian Bo gathered his clothes and asked with a trembling voice.
"Dang-dang-dang..." There was no answer from the door, only continuous knocking.
"Don't make trouble in the middle of the night. If you have something to say, go back if you have nothing to do. Don't disturb other people's sleep." Qian Bo shouted with courage, then turned around and was about to go back.
"Brother, it's me. Open the door quickly. I have something to ask you."
There was finally an answer from outside the door, but the voice was very high-pitched and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Qian Bo leaned against the wall, trembling a bit, but still had the courage to ask: "Who are you?"
"I am me, you will know it as soon as you open the door."
"If you don't tell me who you are, I won't open the door."
The knocking on the door finally stopped. After a while of silence, the figure outside said: "Brother, I am your eldest sister-in-law from the Zhao family. I have something to ask you."
"My eldest sister-in-law from the Zhao family?" Qian Bo was stunned for a moment, then screamed loudly, "Ghost!"
Qian Bo turned around, only to find a face suddenly appeared behind him. The face illuminated by his mobile phone was extremely pale and without any blood.
"ah……"
Qian Bo glanced at him and his body softened, but before he fell to the ground, he was hugged. But when he was hugged, his mouth was also covered.
"It's me, don't shout."
Hearing the familiar voice, Qian Bo burst into tears. "Tanzi, when did you come out? Tell me, you are so silent, you almost scared me to death."
Tan Xuan chuckled, "I came out when you came out. Someone is looking for you outside the door. Go and open the door."
Qian Bo waved his hands hurriedly, hid behind Tan Xuan and said, "No, there's a ghost outside the door."
Tan Xuan pulled Qian Bo out from behind and said, "What's going on? Hurry up and open the door."
"It's really not a ghost?"
"No." Tan Xuan nodded, "I'm here. What are you afraid of? Just go and open the door."
"real?"
Under Tan Xuan's gaze, Qian Bo opened the door hesitantly and pushed open the door. Then he saw a bloated man standing at the door. He looked around with his cell phone and saw that the man's face was covered with ice. When he saw it clearly,
After seeing the human appearance, Qian Bo's body stiffened, and then he fell straight back.
